What worries me is the way it sucks it out of me. Life.
There’s nothing new under the sun, a wise person once said. And he is right. And he is wrong. There are new things, because there are new people. Yes, we’re all the same and go through similar things, but only you can experience your life, and even you can only experience it once.
And things never go as planned, and questions never go away. Everywhere we look we have scientists and preachers and stories and teachers explaining: This is how things are. This is where you’ll be. This is how to live. This is what you’ll see.
But in the end there’s a lot we don’t know and can’t control. There’s a lot we can’t see.
Sometimes there are no right answers, no easy fixes, no straight and narrow.
And in these moments, and in the end, it’s just us and the silence, waiting.
